Few studies have addressed <jats:italic>Fasciola<\/jats:italic> in preschool children. We performed a secondary data analysis using two <jats:italic>Fasciola<\/jats:italic> databases from Cusco, Peru, comparing preschoolers with elementary school children. We included 2,630 children, 50% were female, the median age was 8.4 years (interquartile range [IQR] 6.1\u201310.5), and 15% (396\/2,630) were &lt; 5 years of age. Children &lt; 5 years were less likely to be infected with <jats:italic>Fasciola hepatica<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.008) and <jats:italic>Hymenolepis nana<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) and more likely to have anemia (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) and a lower median height for age Z (HAZ) score (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002). Fascioliasis was less common in younger children, but this group may be at higher risk for chronic complications caused by fascioliasis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.20-1649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,19]],"date-time":"2021-07-19T11:45:17Z","timestamp":1626695117000},"page":"684-687","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Comparison of the Risk for Chronic Fascioliasis between Children 3 to 5 Years and Children 6 to 12 Years of Age in the Cusco Region of Peru"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Melinda B.","family":"Tanabe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria A.","family":"Caravedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria L.","family":"Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia and University of Texas Medical Branch Collaborative Research Center, Cusco, Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martha","family":"Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia and University of Texas Medical Branch Collaborative Research Center, Cusco, Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
